This role addresses the critical need to scale quantum hardware development while maintaining performance standards.

What you'll do

  • Define and own end-to-end integration strategy for quantum materials and devices.
  • Lead coordination between materials, fabrication, measurement, and device design teams.
  • Oversee large-scale experimental campaigns to optimize qubit performance.
  • Drive development of process tracking infrastructure and AI enablement tools.
  • Ensure alignment between process modules and device/system requirements.
  • Communicate program progress, risks, and tradeoffs to leadership effectively.

What we're looking for

  • Doctorate in Physics, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field and 5+ years of experience.
  • Deep expertise in quantum materials development and mesoscopic device fabrication.
  • Proven ability to lead teams and drive cross-functional technical programs.
  • Experience with process integration across complex semiconductor or quantum device stacks.
  • Demonstrated skill in translating experimental data into engineering decisions for qubit performance improvement.
  • Familiarity with yield engineering, variability reduction, and scaling challenges in advanced semiconductor environments.
